Observatory requires much study in order to discern its composition, an incredibly complex fruitiness meets rich maltiness in a slightly-sour hardly-hopped Belgian-style brown ale. This dark reddish-brown estery fruit bomb presents strong notes of raisins, plums, black cherries and prunes intermingled with a toffee rich, slightly chocolately malt profile with a hint of orange. Time spent in Cabernet barrels lends an oaky backbone and sporadic tannic dryness.
